The ADVANCE, in u recent article on
the heated term. gave the statistics Of
the death of infants ut 1000 in one
week in New York aud over 1,l0O in
six weeks in the vicinity Of Pittsburg.
The St. Paul Globe, in n recent article,
says that nearly 800 persons died at
Minneapolis during July and 2l7 Of
this number were infants. 1t then
makes some sensible observations on
this mortality among the innocents,
from which We extract few:
In the first place, parents and nurses
are often too negligent of proper atten.
ton to the little ones. In many in.
stances they are dressed too warm. In
other instances the children are expos.
ed to the heat unnecessarily. A moth
or or nurse will take an infant out
for IN airing. The child is placed III
its carriage and wheeled along the
street where the suns rays are pouring
down from above and every stone AMI
board emitting heat from below. A
mother sands the nurse with her child
to tho park for al airing. The nurse
is negligent and leaves the baby car
riage standing in an unprotected nook
and goes of to some shady spot where
she finds amusement for herself, for
getting that the little orc is roasting

has left it. 1t is no uncommon occur

numerous instances where these things
have been overlooked by parents who

having taken away their little ones.

QUEEN VIcroRIA's jubilee will
be celebrated by the English Of
the world, next Thursday. The
occasion is the 50th anniversary of
her reign. We know some wo-
men, of near her age, would scarce
ly exchange positions or conditions
with We, tor then everybody
would know Just how old they
were. If a w0man's age could be
told by her teeth as can horses,
almost all women would have their
natural teeth pulled early in life,
and artificial ones inserted. AS it
is, you can't tell by a woman S
teoth, tongue, hair or face, how
old she is. The only way 70 fad
out is to ask her-and then Won
won't know, for scarcely any of
them can remember 25 years back,
though they lay claim to retentiye
memories.

TIE CHICAGO WEEKLY News. and
LINCOLN TO. LEADER, year 50. IS.
WE WANT POINTERS.

We are frank to say, thot it does
seem as though the every reader OF
the LEADER thinks that If the op-
portunity were afforded him, he
could prepare and present a better
paper, one at least that would suit
his own taste better, than thos C
whose province it happens to be to
serve rs caterers for them. May
haps this is true. Editors, like un-
tos other people who do routine
work, and follow it for years, are
apt to fall into ruts. This becomes
apparani to discriminating readers,
while the editor may go on in the
old way, remaining blissfullv un-
conscious of anv change that might
be introduced for the benefit or ed
ification of his readers. Now, the
LEADER aims to keep out Of ruts,
and in order that it may do so. 1t
desires the suggestions, the advice; !;
more than that, the free and open
criticism Of the every reader, on any
and all subjects pertaining to it's
ccneuct and contents.
One way to reach that result oc-
ours to us, which appears feasible
only with the active cooperation
of the many whC scan the columns
OF this paper every week. With
this statement OF the LEADERS in
intention, general invitation,
personal request Is hereby made to
send to this Office their ideas OF
what the LEADER ought to be. If
it's tendency is for bad, say so. If
it be for good, do not hesitate on
account OF our innate nodcsty. II
the religious tone Is not Just what
you think 1t ought to be, a change
for the better may result if you
will be kind enough to point out
the nature of our delinquency. land
we will remedy it, for that subject
is our forte. If White Oaks is not
doomed enough, say SO, and we'll
boom her. If it's a stumbling
block in the way of anybody that
important fact should be made
known to us. If there be too
much politics in the paper, and not
enough mathematics, a note shold
be made OF It, If the LEADER
talks too plainly on some matters,
and does not say enough about
others, just be kind enough to tell
where the golden mean is to be
found, and Wen search for it. 1t
there be too much city gossip, and
not enough foreign news, do not
have tany qualms OF conscience IN
saying so, like Dazzle, boldly
If the editorial columns are stupid
and insutferable, write something
that you think is pointed, lively,
and timely, and send 1t in. If 1t
contains records of too many sui
cides and crimes, and too few reli-
gious meetings, that idea ought to
find expression, in which event the |
suicide or criminal might be so en-
chained by our persuasive power as
to be dIssuaded from committing |
his premeditated crime. If yeu
do not like the LEADERS position
on the prohibition question, spit it
out, for there's where we want to
be solid. Nobody so dislikes to
see his brother or anybody else's
brother, indulge in alcoholic fluids.
In other words, ana in brief, "eve-
rybody and the rest of mankind"
is urged to send to this paper criti-
cisms on the LEADER. Do it with

A MAN named Lew Kelsey, hail
ing from Las Cruces, arrived in this
camp some weeks since. He was
a miner in search of employment,
which he secured at Nogal, whittier
he went. On coming here he
brought with him some disease of
the internal organism, which SO
troubledfhim that he returned here
tor medical treatment. He got
better and returned to his work,
but soon had a relapse, when he
was taken to TT. Stanton for treat
ment, and died there on Tuesday
last. 1t is understood that he
leaves a wife and two children at
Las Cruces, to whom the sad IT,
dlngs have been sent. Death, in
any shape, is grim visitor, but
when it lays it's cold hand upon
one situate among strangers, while
loved ones are remote, anXiously
looking for love tokens in the
shape Of letters, and instead, re-
ceive information written IN a
strange hand, OF unlocked for and
unexpected removals from this
theater of life, the blow falls with
crushing force, and 1t requires
much Christian tortitude in the
stricken to say, in all sincerity,
"Thy Will be done" Kelsey's re-
mains were inter- d at the scene
OF his death, and, albeit a stranger,
was laid away with Samaritan
hands.

GONE TO MEET HER DAUGHTER.

3rd inst. This week, a like duty
calls upon us to record the demise
of Mrs. F. lIerrington, mother of
Mrs. DOdd, which sad event took
place on the morning of the 14tli
in this town, and the same
house and room from which the
spirit of her beloved daughter
winged it's flight, but a few days
previous, leaving husband, soil,
and many endeared friends to
mourn her departure from this to
the other shore.
When her daughter closed her
eyes in death, earth ceased to pos
sess any charm for Mrs. H., and
from the moment of separation
she expressed longing to go and
be with her. Every clod that tell
upon the coffin OF her darling
seemed to drop down INTO her
heart, and she returned from the
cemetery praying that God would
re-unite her by the tendril so
suddenly snapped from her heart
in this life. Under protest she
took medicine from the attending
physician, and made no attempt
to conceal her desire to take pas
sage on the boat which plies across
the dark river. The few relatives
which had been spared her sought
in vain to rettder her Surroundings
So cheerful as to revive a desire to
travel further and longer with them
in this vale. She could think Of
nothing but her loss, and the
Thought was associated with sdcli
desire ta recover her treasure that
at last her physical nature succumb-
ed to the spiritual, God grant.
ed her prayer, and the twain, so
loving in this lite, are now basking
in the sunshine of everlasting, of
eternal life, happy beyond per-
adventure in her reunion with
those who had gone before, and
with a patience unknown here,
awaiting the coming Of the dear
ones left behind.
Martha +. Harrington was born
in Quincy, Ills, A, d. 1916, and
was married to F. Harrington in
the same city, in 1861, being at
that date but Is years old, and at
the time of her demise but Il
years.
This atfiictlon falls with terrible
force upon her berett husband,
the blow coming so quickly after
the taking away from him his only
daughter. The unfeeling ground
now covers his hearts idols.
Whereas his breast was wont to
be freighted with love for daughter
and wife, the memory alone of
their having been loaned him is
left, together with the agonizing
reflection that he shall ne'er again
look upon them with the natural
eye. But the time when he shall
JON them i'll the spirit land, can
not, in the nature of things, be
long hence, aud it may be well
that he has representative close
to the ear of Him who reigneth in
the Kingdom they now inhabit
and toward which he is travelling,
however near or far his steps may
be from the walls of the Celestial
City.
The funeral took place on Tues,
day evening, Rev. Lund officiating
at the house of mourning. Quite
a number of persons followed the
remains to the cemetery, notwith-
standing a heavy rain storm set in

IRISH FOOLS.


patent OF late through the strug-
gle now going on in Ireland to
throw off the yoke Of English
thraldom and assume that of self
government. This reasonable plan
or proposition is opposed by a
class known as Orangemen, from
apprehension that in the consum-
nation of such q scheme the Ro
man Catholics would assume au-
thority and fill all the offices. 1t
matters not to them, that the in
human work or eviction goes on
daily, and that Protestants and
Catholics alike are the victims of
brutality executed under govern
mental authority, and by govern
ment officials, and the undisputed
fact that itstakes as much food to
support life. .inia Protestant that it
does in Catholic, they kick at the
dashboard, straddle the traces,
buck, and otherwise act unseemly,
all in the name of religion, OF
which they are really as destitute
as thev are Ell sense and under
standing.
Of late years, through the fea-
sonable, persuasive force OF Par
nell, Gladstone, and other Irish
and English statesmen, the sym
pathies or the world have been eX-
cited in favor of Ireland and against
her oppressor, when those Of Irish
birth and descent in this country,
not satisfied with what seems to be
in sight and within reach, touch
ing the alleviation OF the distress
in which the people OF Ireland
have so long been engulphed, de-
mand what is in violation of rea-
son and contrary t. the law OF God
and man, viz: that all title to land
in man should be obliterated, and
holdings be acknowledged i'll those
obtaining footholds, thus putting a
premium on ldleness, and an en-
barge on honest toll and effort, on
the struggle to obtain incontesta
bic legacies for dependent families
A man, though sightIess could see
with his minds eye, that such
rule would work interminable
squabbling and unending war.
OF such class is the priest
McGlynn, (the Irish fools are not
all Orangemen,D O'Donnovan Ros-
sa, and an innumerable army of

their agrarian ideas, and with that
motive drafted resolutions, which |
they presented to Mr.. O'Brien as

O'Brien declined the questionable
